Sightseeing
The lively Harbour Arm, which once conveyed the Orient Express direct to its ocean liner, juts out into the sea and springs to life each weekend with pop-up street food stalls, an outdoor cinema, live music, oversized board games and cool DJs. It's also home to Bathtub & Gun, arguably the world's smallest cocktail bar, and a champagne bar secreted in a Grade II-listed lighthouse built in 1897 which is ideal for looking back over the town and watching the sun set.
